Another thumbs up for URS, the old serie though. I myself miss the 1073-like N-serie but they all sound good. The URS compressors still leave me a little..puzzled..but still in a good way.
I entered a studio where a couple jobs were done with the Waves SSL Buss Compressor and that thing is fat and heavy, not in a good sense most of the time. It contributes to that "always the same" sound that I think the Waves SSL have (not that they are bad, though, but still.."predictable").
I've never used a real SSL console so I don't know if that's how an SSL-sounding console has to be, but I doubt it would lead to such a predictable-predicatbility *lol*.
Anyway, this was not about compressors so, back to EQs: I am currently liking the URS stuff..I've heard about the Console Strip Pro and demoed it..but I have mixed feelings, I was expecting more maybe..and couldn't get much of what I wanted. I think the A/N/S series from URS is what I am more looking for: dedicated coloration in a good sense. I am probably also fighting my frustration for not using my UAD Neve stuff
being on HD I can never have the same processing power and benefits I get from TDM plugins.
Sorry if that was a little chaotic, I don't post much in these topics but I would really like to start helping by providing my opinion. Maybe it's not worth but it's still another point of view.
Lol long post, sorry guys
